Alexander Volkanovski feels bad for how UFC, fans treat Movsar Evloev

UFC lightweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has expressed sympathy for fellow fighter Movsar Evloev, who continues to face scrutiny despite a strong record. Evloev, who holds a 20-0 MMA career with a 10-0 streak in the UFC, has drawn criticism for his lack of stoppage wins, despite securing all 10 of his Octagon victories via decision.

The debate over Evloev’s future in the promotion has intensified, especially after the UFC recently released middleweight Michael Page, who also had a notable decision-heavy record. Meanwhile, the organization has announced a stacked lineup for UFC 333, including a lightweight bout between Noah Gugnon and Kody Steele, adding to the anticipation for the Abu Dhabi event.

In other news, welterweights Ian Garry and Michael Morales have addressed rumors about their future fights, while heavyweight prospects Alex Pereira and Sergei Pavlovich have confirmed their upcoming clash at UFC 335. The recent UFC 332 card in Salt Lake City also saw notable performances, including a loss by Wang Cong in her title aspirations against Natalia Silva.
